Chapter 49: Chapter 49

I was relieved to see Sofia’s sanity and clarity, but my heart ached for her immensely. Any words of comfort seemed feeble. All I could do was to make Ian pay for his actions. After a moment of silence, Sofia said, "Since he’s betrayed me, there’s nothing left for me to cling onto. Tell me what to do, Eliana, and I’ll do it." Sofia and I had a chat in the ward. I learned more about Ian. Ian was not from a wealthy family. He was born in a small village, but he was a hard working and bright kid, which led him to a good university. After graduating, he got a job at his current company, and there was a good chance he was about to get promoted. For Ian, his job was crucial, the cornerstone of his life in Rosemont. If he lost his job, he might never find such a good one again. Sofia also told me that Ian’s parents were only in their fifties, but they had already retired, completely relying on Ian for support. Sofia never cared about these things. She didn’t lack money and didn’t mind helping her future parents-in-law financially. Just as we finished talking. Luna and the others came back with Sofia’s mom. "Mom!" Seeing her mother, Sofia immediately burst into tears. Sofia’s mother rushed over to her, her eyes filled with concern and love. I left the ward with Luna and Clara and filled them in on Sofia’s attitude and Ian’s situation. I had a preliminary plan in mind, but I needed Damon’s help. After leaving the hospital, I called Damon. "Damon, can you do me a favor?" I asked bluntly. "Go on," he responded succinctly.

I wanted Damon to ask the HR department to offer Ian an attractive job to lure him into quitting his current job. At the same time, I planned to let Sofia keep away from Ian temporarily, with some excuse.

Damon didn’t understand what I was up to. He turned down my request. After all, not everyone could get into Coleman Co. I spoke in a tough way, "If you don’t agree, I’ll tell your parents you’re courting a college girl!" "Eliana, are you asking for trouble?" Damon’s usually cold voice suddenly became furious. "If you don’t agree, I’ll tell them right now!" I didn’t care, all I wanted was to avenge Sofia. "Wait for me." Damon hung up. Half an hour later, Damon came back. I was surprised he’d come all the way back just to talk to me. He walked in and asked, "Why do you want Coleman Co. to hire Ian?" I replied, "Who said I want you to actually hire him? I just want you to send an invitation, as long as it can entice him to leave his current company." Damon frowned, "What are you up to?" Since Sofia had decided to end things with Ian and I indeed needed Damon’s help, I decided to tell him the truth. After hearing me out, Damon narrowed his eyes, "So the soap opera you told me about last time, it’s about Sofia, isn’t it?" "It’s not a soap opera! It’s real!" I answered a bit angrily, "If Coleman Co. wasn’t that attractive, I would have asked my parents for help."Ian, though a jerk, was very steady and pragmatic in his work and wouldn’t change jobs easily. The offer to lure him away had to Moreover, Coleman Co. has several departments that could offer positions that match Ian’s current job. After thinking it over, Damon agreed, "Fine, I’ll do it." I grinned, "And no worries, I won’t tell your parents about your pursuit of a college girl. Even if you were after a widow, I wouldn’t tell!" "Shut up," Damon looked at me seriously. I shut up. Anyway, I had achieved my goal. After dinner, I went to rest and was very strong. Damon didn’t stay at home for long. He preferred to be with Ariel. Ariel and Joshua had broken up, so it was the perfect time for him to pursue hér. Not long after he left, I got a message from him: come to the office tomorrow. I was stunned for a moment, then remembered that I had said I would work at Coleman Co. I hadn’t expected him to really arrange it. I wondered what position I’d be assigned to. But since Damon had agreed, I didn’t plan to think too much. The next day, I went straight to Coleman Co. Our relationship wasn’t public in the company, but people weren’t idiots. If anyone looked up Damon’s information, they’d see photos of me and him. Although our photos were rare, they did exist. So the HR staff was very courteous to me. After helping me fill out all the paperwork, he led me to Damon’s office. To my surprise, Damon had arranged me to be his personal secretary. Damon was in a meeting in the conference room at the time. I was sitting at the secretary’s desk, looking at the secretary’s handbook. That’s when Sofia called, "Coleman Co. really sent Ian a job offer email. He just texted me about it" "Great. This is just the first step. We must make him lose everything!" I was very satisfied with Damon’s efficiency. "Okay I’ll be staying at my parents’ house these days. Come to see me when you can." Sofia invited me. "Sure. I’m working at Coleman Co. now You won’t believe what my job is..." Before I could finish, Damon, who I didn’t know when he had arrived, was looking down at me. I hung up the phone immediately. It was working hours after all I really shouldn’t have been making personal calls. "You’ve got a week to get familiar with the job. Is that enough?" Damon understood that I was aware of wrongdoing, so he didn’t intentionally give me a hard time and went back to his seat. He picked up his cup and handed it to me, "You don’t need a week to learn how to make coffee, do you?"

I have said before, I don’t want to end up as your errand runner And now you want me to make you coffee?" I was a bit ticked off "Don’t you know that being with your boss, you can learn a lot?" Damon argued convincingly. I chuckled and took the cup. As I was heading to make some coffee, I muttered, "Why don’t you have your college girl learn some stuff? She needs it more than I do!" Every time I brought up Ariel, Damon’s facial expression would go frosty. Under his disapproving glare, I happily brewed a cup of coffee and handed it to him. Just as I sat down at my desk, an unknown number texted me: "Eliana, it’s Ariel. Can we meet up?" How did Ariel get my number? I frowned, texting back, "Sure. After I get off work."
